Ok, so i've got to ask. Do you not use amazon?

I should have finished the sentence with “to read an article.”

But in all honesty, I don’t really order much of anything from Amazon. I don’t know the last time I did. That isn’t coming from protest or anything though. I just don’t really buy much and when I do I just find a local store I can buy it at if possible. If Amazon has it cheaper and I’ll get it quicker then I don’t have a problem ordering it from there.

Gotta tank their stock somehow to buy the dip.

The sad part is I would guess that this is going on league-wide and not just in Washington. Wouldn't surprise me to see more stuff like this come out in the coming weeks. It is a male dominated industry and like the one woman said they were told if they complain there are thousands of people that would kill for the job, which is absolutely true. While Washington is and has been trash for decades, can you imagine what goes in with owners like Jerry Jones and the like?

I said it earlier in the thread before even reading the article that this has happened or is happening in the majority of NFL organizations.

After reading the full article yesterday I haven’t changed that stance. The findings are horrible and should never happen but with the demand for these types of jobs and with the power dynamics at hand it’s basically going to be ingrained into the culture. Until this type of culture as a whole changes sadly we’ll continue to see examples.

Dan Snyder sucks and is scum but to think he’s the only owner of an organization that this is happening at is narrow sighted. Snyder was an easy target here with the vitriol going on towards him personally and what is going on with the team name so the story was ran. As we’ve seen time and time again stories are killed because someone is trying to protect a friend, not ruffle feathers, a colleague, a source, etc. I have little to no doubt that this type of thing has been brought up to journalists in other towns only to be DOA because of it.

I'm confused. TO appears to start about 10 yards ahead.

He did start 10 yards ahead - and he finished ahead of Ty.

Now you could say "well he had a head start"...to which my reply is "who gives a f*** - he just looked insanely fast against one of the fastest WRs in the NFL today...at age 46"

It's obscene that he's still in good enough shape to even make it a competition with Ty Hill

Seems weird. I hope it isn't a troll job. Like: "ha ha, we'll choose the most neutral thing ever then!"
